Spring is the Great Tonic Season
Physicians Recommend (he "Orange Habit"
In old daya physicians assjume-d a sphinx-like attitude on. all matters
pertaining to health and disease unless specially "called In." Now find
them seemingly as deeply interested in simple, every-day preventive meas
ures, long walks, deep breathing, golf, and making dietary recommenda
tions of a nature to tempt the average man or woman to try them out.
The wonderful health value of oranges is a matte on which the repre
sentatives of all schools of medicine are agreed. They assert that orange
Juices are highly efficacious as an aid to digestion, and this opinion Is
Confirmed by the reporta of the California Orange Growers, which ahow
an increasing demand for the rich, Juicy, full-flavored oranges of that
state. The American Optimist.
Spring fever" is in the air. We all have
touches of it all feel the need of a general "ton
ing up." For this purpose nothing is better than
the "orange habit." Eat "Sunkist" Oranges at
breakfast time. Eat them dnrinrr the fJnv nnrl nr
bed-time. "Sunkist" Oranges are the finest grown. Doctors all agree that orange eating at
this time is one of the grandest of health boons. Great trainloads of "Sunkist- Oranges
are now being distributed throughout this entire section. You'll find them on special sale at

Oranges for (he Complexion
Two years ago m rlub of twenty-fire
women was formed to ninke n test of
I he healUi-frlrlng - Value of oranges.
The best quality of oranges were in
variably eaten and the results were
uniformly beneficial. This wm quite
apparent in their Improved complex
ions., Borne of tliVrn said that in addi
tion to eating oranges they had made
it a practice to squeeze the Juice of ft
lemon into tumbler of water and
drink tt the first thing in the morning.
These women are uniformly enthusi
astic over their experiment and are
firmly convinced that by freely ratio
oranges and drinking lemon Juice from
time to time, the liver Is kept in per
fect condition' and of course a perfect-functioning
liver is the secret of
a good complexion.

Oranges for Grippe
If people only half realized what an
exceedingly valuable medicinal food
they have in the orange, the crop of
California, vast as It Is, would all be
consumed on the Taclflc Coast, leav
ing none for shipment east of the
Rocky Mountains. Anyone who makes
a practice of partaking freely of citric
acid, eating at least three oranges a
day morning, noon and at night
taking a little lemon Juice in water
between times, need fear no epidemic
of Grippe or other disease.

AT THE CAPITAL OF SERVIA
Dismal Reminders Linger About King
Peter's Palace.
TAINT OF MURDER IN THE AIR
1 heritable Peasant, Herd of Snln
on the Landscape, the Legion
of Death, the Si
tional Dress.
IHil.GRADE, April When you arrive
In Belgrade, the little Servian capital with
Its broad streets and electric tram, after
spending most of the winter In Turkey's
great cramped, ill kept capital teeming
with homeless dogs and filthy beggars,
you feel you have shaken off the dirt and
discomfort of the east and are once more
within reach of western civilisation.
Though Belgrade lias no pretensions what
ever to the artistic, the little bungnlowllke
houses and even the palace Itself being
painted a bright yellow, still the costumes
of the peasant women and the brilliant
uniforms of the officers give the other
wise uninteresting streets a touch of color.
And when one remembers that only forty
two years ago Turkish troops occupied the
town one can but admire Its attempts at
cleanliness and the Improvements which
have been carried out.
The conventional train which leaves
Constantinople every night at 8 creeps
slowly and cautiously to the edge of Tur
kish territory as If afraid of awakening
Its slumbering occupants; In reality be
cause the Turk can never be hurried. Hut
once past the Bulgarian frontier the dif
ference In locomotion Is noticed, and the
train speeds quickly over the snow covered
more on either side of the track, then rise
platna that stretch away for a mile or
abruptly to a high and formidable range
of hills which are almost lost to sight In
a dense mist.
Moaotonoas Traveling.
Toward midday the sun came out and
shone daisingly upon the sea of white. On
and on the train went for miles, with noth
ing to break the monotony or to indicate
that the land was not a troien sea. save
an occasional stumpy tree or a forlorn
wayside Ltatlon near wlili-h a few broad
shouldered peasants In sheepskin coats
were to be seen trudging home.
Before evening the train stopped at
Sofia, the Bulgarian capital, but as the
town, like ail others along the line, is a
mile or more from the station. It was only
possible to see some tall government build
ings which stood out conspicuously from
the long, bare, straggling, streets. Al
though only a short dlstar.ie from the
Ottoman empire there was little here to
remind one of It an occasional fei on the
crowded platform, or a couple of work
men In colored sashes and buggy trousers.
and on finding myself In Belgrade the next
morning It seemed as if not a trace of the
east remained.
Many of the old Inhabitants of Constan
tinople, prejudiced- In favor of their city
and seeing no need for Its Improvement,
Assured me that I should find the streets
of Belgrade very bad, much worse than
theirs. But In only one respect . can I
find any similarity, namely the cobble
stone paving of all the roads whose un
evenness was made forceably apparent on
my first drive, and probably the exorbi
tant prices demanded by the drivers In
clude the benefit which doctors affirm Is
derived from such violent exercise as is
Involved in a drive In Belgrade.
Easy Living, Polite People.
, Instead of the steep, tortuous streets of
the great capital, Belgrade, has broad level
streets lit by electricity. And during the
busiest hours of the day when every shop
hangs up Its sign saying "closed from
12;30 to 1:80," or when both mnster and
man are abroad In the evening for an
airing, you can walk with comfort on
the level sidewalk, for even the hamels
(porters), of whom there are a few, make
way for you politely.
On the main street, built close to the
roadway In 'the center of the town, is an
ugly two storied yellow building orna
mented with rude figures of men nnd sur
mounted by three cupolas. This is the
paluce of King Peter Karageorgevltch.
Though I have passed It at all hours of
the day It never has exhibited an Indica
tion of life the blinds generally remaining
drawn on the sides visible from the road
way. It is probable that King Peter does not
care for the view obtained from the win
dows which face this way. For on one side
there Is a monument to M'losh Obreno
vltch, founder of the rival dynasty and
murderer of King Peter's famous ancestor,
Kara George. On the other side, immedi
ately beneath the palace windows, is a
grass plot whlth marks the site of the
old palace where the late king, Alexander
Olirenovltch, and his wife, Draga, were
brutally murdered five years ago.
Taint of Marder Over All.
Many people, friends and followers oi the
Obrenuvitchcs, accuse the piesent monarch
of being an accomplice to the murder of
Alexander, which put an end to the rival
line, and to that of his uncle, Michael
Ohrenovltch, who was shot in 1868 while
walking near his summer residence In the
beautiful little Topidcre park, a couple of
miles from the town. It Is said that the
sins of the fathers are visited upon the
children, and certainly the house of Obren
6vltch paid heavily, very heavily, for the
crime which Miloah. Its founder, com
mitted In murdering his rival, Kara George
(Black George), the man to whom Servia
owes her Independence and emancipation
from the Turk.
A little yellow mosque lit a side street
and an ancient Turkish fortress which
overlooks the Save and Danube rivers are

all that remain to remind the Servians
that they were once under Turkish rule.
As they wander round the old battlements,
which would not offer the slightest re
sistence to an enemy ribw, the people re
member with pride the names of their
two murdered heroes, Kara George and
Michael Obrenovitch the latter having only
a year before his assassination succeeded
In banishing the Turkish troops from Bel
grade for the first time In centuries and
fortifying the town with a Servian garri
son. An I nshorn Assemblage.
Beside the ancient castle is a little park
where soldiers and civilians come evening
after evening with untiring energy to
watch the red gold sun set in a blaze of
glory behind the Hungarian plains, and
this sight, they tell you, makes up for all
that their capital larks In Interest and
i beauty. The men who saunter up and
flown from shop assistant to prosperous
merchant all wear soft black felt boat
shaped hats and without exception have
a decidedly unkempt appearance, owing
to the fact that they wear their hslr long
and so badly cut aa to look es If they per
formed the cutting operation themselves.
The women, whose looks are no better
than the men's, appear to think It the
height of good taste to copy a friend's hat,
furs, jacket or costume, for I frequently
saw several couples of them similarly at
tired, and as Vienna styles are of course
firmly boycotted the women are obliged
to get their ideas elsewhere.
But the officers give an air of smart
ness to the place, though probably they
too If stripped of their trim uniforms
would cut no better figure than their
civilian brothers. whnae fares lack
strength nf character and firmness of
purpose and seldom display any extraor
dinary Intelligencer"
omnia in Corset..
These men, like th Rnglish guards,
are chosen for their sixe, and aa you
watch them day after day In the hotel
cafes drinking and listening to the band
or sauntering up and down the main
street you realize what remarkably tall
fellows they are. for the Servian Is not
a short race. In rrimsjn breeches, pale
blue coat fitting tightly to the corseted
figure, which accentuates the breadth of
the well padded shoulders, with golden
epaulettes, riding boots and purple or blue
overcoat faced with scarlet, the Servian of
ficer Is an exceedlnjly ornamental person,
but he somehow conveys the Impression
that his prowess, is that of the tongue
rather than of the sword.
i In all my wanderings around the streets
I have not been beset by beggars, nor
had I ever seen a s;ngk beggar until
yesterday. Hut yesterday one forced him
self on my notice and as far as I know
he may be the only one In the town.
He was an old. old man in a black
squash hat, evidently wearing the castoff
clothinj of a wealthy friend, and as I
watched him frjni the hotel wlnuow he
hobbled along feebly until he rank with an
effort Into a sheltered corner Just opposite
me. Here he seemed to collapse from I
weakness, but precently he recovered suf
ficiently to touch his hat respectfully to
passersby.
Poor Only G.'ve Alma.
This is a busy corner, and men and
women of all ranks pass continually. But
It was not the rlc.i whu gave alma. These,
like the priests and I v lies, passed him by
on the other side; it mas alwa.s the pea
sants or work people who gave the old fel
low a trifle In pairing.
A couple of fat, long haired, black
robed priests In purple velvet hals turned
the corner and came suddenly upon the
beggar, who touched his hat. One of the
priests, swinging a s!lvei headed cane
to and fro with negligent ease, paused,
then gazing Into vacancy wnt on his way
unconcernedly down the road with his
companion.
Immediately behind were two Albanian
peasants, woodcutters. In rough white
homespun embroidered with black braid.
The ejder stopped, and pulling out from
the depths of his trousers a amall soiled
packet he tried to undo the string around
It. This seemed to be a difficult Job for
his clumsy finger, but after several mtn
utea the knot was undene and Inside lay
a minute purse.
The man opened It and taking out his
only coin, a 10 centime piece, dropped
It Into tho old fellow's hand and waited.
Perhaps they knew each other anyway;
the beggar appeared to understand what
was expected of him, and taking out his
purse, which appeared better . supplied
than the Albanian's, he returned 6 cen
times with touch of his hat.
One or two other rough looking customers
walking besido their buffaloes and some
peasant women returning from market,
likewise contributed their mite probably
giving thanks to heaven for a prosperous
day.
Women Do the Work.
Here, as in countries further east,
the women do the hardest work. It is
the woman who carries tho basket of eggs
to market,' while the man walks In front
with his hands deep In his trousers
pockets. The women not only make all
their clothes and those of their men folks,
but they weave and embroider the gay and
sombre colored materials used for their
petticoats and the men's garments, and
they also knit all their stockings and socks.
The men's clothes are generally made
of a dark brown baize ornamented with
black braid and many of them wear
sheepwool caps that resemble busbies.
The trousers fit tight to the ankle, and
often look as if their wearer must find
them exceedingly uncomfortable when
he sits, but the shapeless coat which
reaches the waist always teavea plenty
of room fcr Its owner's expansion.
In the making of the socks the women
exercise their Ingenuity; they may be
knitted ln rings of,rttrlous gaudy colors
or of a design that baffles description,
or they may be of one color crimson or
brown but In each Instance the top is
finished with a border of brilliant green,
yellow and scarlet flowers. Over the feet
are worn stout pieces of leather strapped
or tied on with string, and this foot cover
ing, which reminds one of the days before
such things were Invented, Is worn by
the troops, too, as it Is supposed to be the
most useful and comfortable kind of
footwear for heavy marching. Hut It Is
distinctly unpleasant and very uncom
fortable to any one not accustomed to It,
for I tried a pair myself once on a cross
country tramp when my own shoes gave
out, and was laid up with sores and
blisters as a result.
PIctnrcaq.Be Female Apparel.
The women wear a couple of petticoats
which Just cover the knees, showing off
their colored stockings and shoes, which
aru exuetly like thu men's. The outer
skirt-embroidered white baize for fete
days, or red and ellow striped material
for every day is caught up to the waist
on one side to show off the embroidered
hem of the under petticoat, which Is
sqmetimes of white batiste and sometimes
of bruwn baize. A large woolwork apron,
after the style of old gentlemen's slippers
and chair covers of fifty years ago, la
worn on all occasions, and the hair, which
Is plastered to the head and the plaited
end coiled around the top. is covered with
a pink or yellow handkerchief.
As Servia is a country of pig, the breed
ing of these creatures is the peasant's
thief occupation. Within a mile of Bel
grade you may meet peasants driving a
single pig by a string tied to a hind leg,
or a - herd of huge eared, shaggy, wire
haired swine, the largest, ugliest and most
formidable of which are called English
hogs.
Returning to the town l.-ist Thursday
after a review of the third Reservists at
Banltza (one of the hills at the back),
I encountered herd after herd of swine,
and had It not been that the beasts
squealed loudly and fought ferociously one
might have mistaken many of them for
mongrel dogs.
When beyond earshot of this swinish
music I heard the funereal rub-a-dub
dubbing of a drum and presently saw
thirty or forty dismal, long faced young
men In ordinary clothes, but each carry
ing a rifle and wearing a military cap.
This Is the -Legion of Death, and the
youngsters volunteers who are not yet old
enough to be called upon to serve In the
army march through the main streets
every day with firm set lips and mournful
countenance. But they glance from side
to side for the approval of the many
trlends who resemble on the pavements
to watch the progress of this patriotic
band, which declares Itself prepared to
face death for the honor of Its country.

Between Fire and Ten Thonsand Dol
lars Worth of Goods Stolen from
Several Railroads In Last
Six Months.
Between $5,000 and J10.000 worth of goods
are now- believed to have been stolen from
six different railroads during the last six
months by a gang of professional box car
burglars, four alleged members of which
are now locked up in the city Jail on
charges of burglary-
This conclusion was stated by Chief of
Detectives Savage Friday morning. He
saya the case Is being given great attention
by his force of detectives, working in con
Junction with the railroad officers.
More developments of an Important and
extensive nature are In store. Before the
case is finished the officers say they ex
pect to have broken up one of the worst
gangs of railroad thieves in this part of
the country. The recovery of quantities of
goods still In the hands of some of the
men and several mora arrests are said to
be possibilities.
For months, it la claimed by the police, i
plans have been made Jointly by them and
the detectives of the various roads for the
apprehension of the gang that have been
robbing the cars and yards of the six big
roads that center In Omaha. The Union
Pacific, Burlington, Northwestern, Missouri
Pacific, Illinois Central and Great Western
have combined in the fight to stop the
thle.-lng that .Aas characterized past mouths
and years of the history of the various
roads.
Captain Savage and his men of the
Omaha detective force, acting with De
tectives Vlzzard, Malone. Mcslndick, Har
per and Dineon of the railroads now think
their work in the matter is well on the
way to a successful conculslon. Lew
Adair, said to be one of the leaders of the
gang, and three other alleged members of
It, are In Jail as tho result of Wednesday
nlght'a work by the officers.
Acting under C plain Savage and with
the plana and information gathered by De
tectives Vlzzard and Malone, Detectives
Ferris and Dunn accompanied Detective
Malone to the .home of the three men at lai
Platte Wednesday night and recovered
several hundred pounds of meats and a
wagon road of merchandise that had been
stolen from box cars.
"Lew Adair probably will be held her
and tried on a burglary charge." says
Captain Savage.
The other three men may be taken tc
Pn pillion and tried there on charges or hav
Ing received stolen propeity In Sarpy
county, In which their home is located.
The complaints against the men will not
be filed until the case has been thoroughly
worked up against them.
